Center for Renaissance Studies Programs

Warwick-Newberry Collaborative Programs

Held at the University of Warwick, Coventry, England. The overall theme of this year’s workshops was “Reading Publics in Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-Century Renaissance Europe.”

This workshop explored, within a comparative European perspective, the realm of book consumption and its broader implications for both individual readers and networks of readers. Papers delivered at the workshop considered the writings and audience of figures who moved either between Italy and France and/or Italy and England because of their religious commitments, or indeed of texts that moved between these countries.
